Abstract
Experimental data obtained by scanning electron microscopy show that a carbon deposit formed during graphite spraying in an electric arc and chromium particles obtained by electrochemical deposition under certain conditions possess similar fractal structures. Data on some physical properties, the size of fractal aggregates, and the fractal dimensions of carbon and chromium deposits are presented. A possible mechanism of the fractal structure formation is discussed.
